Controversial Mickie James storyline gets negative reaction, TNA provides update

Mickie James and James Storm during TNA impact’s controversial segment

Those watching this week’s TNA Impact were probably amused and confused at the sight of Mickie James being pushed on to a train track by James Storm, which generated a lot of negative attention online, even from the likes of WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross.

While many suggested that James had been killed off, the good news in the latest update is that they are actually not killing off her character. In an update on the TNA website they revealed that she just suffered a concussion in the storyline and there was no oncoming train like on the Netflix show:

While Storm's actions are despicable and borderline criminal, we have reached out to Mickie James and have not yet gotten comment. We also reached out to security at The Nashville Star Train Station who were first on the scene after James Storm left and they were able to tell us that Mickie briefly blacked out and showed symptoms of a concussion. Mickie was tested and passed all concussion field tests. Mickie was emotionally disturbed following the events.

We will do our best to keep everyone up to date and we wish Mickie a very speedy recovery. We will be following up with Mickie James to see if she plans on filing criminal charges with Nashville PD.

Here is the video of that controversial segment:
